The game uses hashes to sort the foods in Cookbook?

[Iam0204]

Spoiler

function CookbookPageCrockPot:_sortfn_default(a, b)
	return a.recipe_def.priority > b.recipe_def.priority or (a.recipe_def.priority == b.recipe_def.priority and a.defaultsortkey > b.defaultsortkey)
end

Spoiler

		local data = {
			prefab = prefab,
			name = STRINGS.NAMES[string.upper(prefab)] or subfmt(STRINGS.UI.COOKBOOK.UNKNOWN_FOOD_NAME, {food = prefab or "SDF"}),
			recipe_def = recipe_def,
			defaultsortkey = hash(prefab),
			food_atlas = "images/quagmire_recipebook.xml",
			food_tex = "cookbook_unknown.tex",
		}

It sorts them by priority first but anyway.

I hope it could be more reasonable.
